Top Cairo Food Tours

AMAZING!!!!!! Gamal, our tour guide, exceeded our expectations - not just a guide - Gamal is a historian, very knowledgeable and passionate, his high energy and enthusiasm truly made this a memorable and educational tour - he was very flexible and accommodating. He was extremely professional and willing to shuffle the itinerary around at the last minute to ensure we did not miss out on visiting the new museum which was mind blowing. not only did Gamal manage to secure us tickets to the new museum, but he was also extremely helpful and continued to guide us through the museum and educate us throughout the trip. He was more than just a tour guide - Gamal was our photographer and friend. I highly recommend booking this trip with Gamal.

I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the last afternoon of 2025! This Cairo Nights Food Tour was an absolute masterclass in Egyptian hospitality and local flavor. Huge thanks to our guide, Joay! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly with our small group, my wife and myself, and made us feel like we were exploring the city with a local friend rather than just a tour group. We wandered through the stunning backstreets of El-Darb El-Ahmar and El Gamaliya. Starting near the Al-Azhar Mosque provided such an atmospheric and historic backdrop for the evening. As a tourist you would probably not take those paths we did. They aren't kidding about the 10+ tastings. From the smoky charcoal-grilled meats to the authentic local desserts, every stop offered something unique and delicious.

What an unforgettable food experience in Cairo! Every stop on this tour was bursting with flavour and authenticity. The hawawishi was absolutely mouth-watering — a deep-fried golden crust with perfectly spiced, juicy fillings. My son summed it up best by calling it “Egyptian pizza” 😄. We then enjoyed foul sandwiches, with rich, slow-cooked fava beans tucked into warm, soft pita bread — simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. The highlight was finishing with koshari at the world-famous Abou Tarek, followed by a rice milk dessert that was the perfect way to cool down the tummy after the bold flavours of the koshari. Portion sizes were extremely generous — we were pleasantly full and still took plenty of leftovers home! A huge shout-out to Mohamed , our awesome guide. He was knowledgeable about every dish and expertly guided us through the busy, traffic-congested streets of downtown Cairo while sharing fascinating food stories along the way. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly taste Cairo. One small request: please bring back the pigeon tasting to the street food menu — it would be an incredible addition!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a private one-day excursion in Luxor with the Egyptologist guide Sam, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated great professionalism, punctuality, and an impressive depth of knowledge about ancient Egyptian history. His explanations at each temple were clear, engaging, and full of fascinating details that brought the monuments to life. Sam answered all my questions with patience and precision, sharing not only information but also his genuine passion and respect for Egyptian culture. He was attentive, kind, and made sure that every moment of the tour was comfortable and enjoyable. The itinerary was perfectly organized, allowing me to make the most of my time without ever feeling rushed. Thanks to Sam, my visit to Luxor became an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend him to anyone wishing to discover Egypt through the eyes of a true professional who clearly loves what he does. A big thanks to the driver as well!
